This is so much more effective than the "Click It or Ticket" campaign. Want to drive recklessly? Good luck becoming a skeleton that has to find its name on a giant list of dead guys. You know how hard it is to read as a skeleton? You don't have eyes.

An Eva Peron campaign poster. Sweet. We spaced out during history class, but from what we understand, this was one of the lesser Andrew Lloyd Webber productions, probably somewhere between Starline Express and the Phantom sequel. Still, she looks a lot more wholesome than Madonna.

It's "Starlight Express," not "Starline." Jeez.. and Evita was extremely popular. Silly young bucks..

It may be unfair of me to post this since I work at the Wolfsonian, but I laughed out loud at your witty commentary. Great choices, and thousands of more object images where they came from. You also picked what I consider the weirdest piece in the whole collection --- the vase with the man popping out of it. It is actually a replica of a very daring (and now famous) 19C building in Turin, Italy called the Mole Antonelliana (GOOGLE it), its fascinating. Thank you for connecting with us.
